- My book “Josie’s Journey” is a not a motorcycle book, but rather a spiritual tale told in the story of one man’s journey to freedom. However, Josie’s is not a flowery yarn, nor does it venture anywhere near the sterile cleanness or deep phycological thought of many spiritual books:

WORD TO THE WISE: Designate someone in YOUR Will to inherit your 'collection' or it will become state property. I'm still working on that one.
Life is tough no matter what path you choose.
Good points were made in the video. What I got out of it was; ... buying/owning things should serve one's journey. Maybe it's a boat, golf clubs, motorcycle, sports car, music instrument, family cars/vehicle, or home. When one owns something that no longer serves a purpose, the journey, it's time to get rid of it. Lighten the "Burden". Ownership is a burden. All the things I mentioned require maintenance and money to keep them, and one's time. Now I' know you aren't against ownership. Nor am I. But the video got me thinking.... I've lost interest in a couple toys I bought a few years ago. They are just sitting there, a burden. Time to "Lighten the Burden". It just doesn't fit any longer.
George Carlin: stuff owns you.
I remember this video good to see it again
I enjoy hearing your philosophy on life. You're very insightful and have a great way of communicating. Keep up the good work.
Damn what a huge house....I'm learning to have your mentality the older I get scotty...and I'm only 49 man...
Take care scotty. Love your videos man, and will always watch and like your videos
life is a journey with endless choices. I am the total of my choices both good and bad
I’ve been watching your videos for at least a year…. And they never get old ! Cheers Scotty
Its crazy to me, and also sad, how such a valuable property can just be left to deteriorate. Its insane. Why in the world would you not sell that property to another caring owner while you can and get a return on it????? That shit is just un-American.
The Man,The Myth, The Legend Scooter Tramp Scotty👊 Much love from Appalachia
Someone told me you are remembered 40 years or so after you die,then its like you were never here.Enjoy life and don't worry about material things .
So true!
My wife gets nervous every time Scotty has a video drop, she thinks I’m going to hit the road, have to be honest and say the thought has crossed my mind! Lol Great video Scotty!
I get where youre coming from Brother, 1st marriage of 21 years and I let the bitch have everything and left because she started sharing with some dude she met online. Second marriage of 14 years now, and this one aint getting my Harley.
Same here fellas 👊
I have definatly been vibed by a wife or 2.
I remember when you originally did this video.... Truthfully our time here is relatively short and 80% of the crap we collected will end up in the trash.....
Good luck getting the old girl up and running for that trip to Mexico
Ya everytime he makes videos like this it make me sad I look around and the tings I have and it bothers me but then I also think most of it has given me Joy and if I'm lucky it will do the same for someone els when I'm gone but it can be such a waste at the same time
Thank you for sharing That house was interesting I met you at Thunder Beach Rally 2024
I finished reading your book When the weather cools down I’m gonna be taking trips on my Trike
Maybe ill see yuh 😊
Then you end up with a house full of stuff , a shed half full and you're thinking about building another bigger shed for more stuff 😎
you have an interesting life, scotty. much respect for how you view things.
We all march to the beat of a different drum. Some march to the sound of a symphony and some to the sound of a soldier in formation but we are all marching through life and making choices based on what the conductor leads us to hear.
Love when you explore these abandoned homes so interesting
Great perspective.
Working on reducing mine so I leave as little ss possible.
Life is the highway aint it Scotty? You carry your home with you.
Like a turtle
Insightful, and a decision to make.. i myself could pehaps live a simple life style, a more simplified life. But i am married. And my wife depends on me. I do hate being under the gun, on the hook. When really a guy dosent need that much.
Excellent........Peace out..........
my brother died. nobody knew where, but he had two storage units with his motorcycle collection.
I tried to maintain my parents place after they passed just as they left it and man I woke up one day and mother nature said she was taking it. Man you arent kidding it goes fast.
Top vid scotty..... lots to think about
Scotty you're a true modern day pioneer. Thanks for sharing.😎
Great advice Scotty.
Thank you Scotty.
Always enjoy your Evo maintenance videos. Thanks for posting. Looking forward to the Evo content too.
Absolutely the best video you have put out. We see what you film, tell us what you feel.
I like your jaunts into recent history. I bet that piano was an important family member. Spent lots of money on sportster parts without blinking an eye. My therapist needs a new stator, vv-reg and clutch. I know how to change it because of your video Scotty, thanks.
Working a trade with him? My moms a retired therapist.
Haha, misunderstood, sorry. My sportster IS my therapist!
@@sunshineandsmiles9668
Oh yeah. Never see a motorcycle parked in front of a shrinks office. I remember.
I dig these videos where your exploring abandoned houses and buildings. Like to see more of these Scotty. Thanks brother
everything is temporary man. enjoy the moments and keep perspective!
Even though we all journey through life collecting earthly belongings, some more, some less. None of it holds any value in the end. The only thing of value is our relationship with our savior Jesus Christ.
God bless bro!! Go Ole Blue!
A very powerful reflective conversation. Sound wisdom is truly difficult to find. Well Done Sir!!!
Scotty...a true modern day Renaissance man! So few content makers that make truly worthwhile content....carry on bro!
Yes one of your best
Out of all the abandoned buildings and houses I watch.. they all leave the piano
Prophetic words brother Scotty! Less is more in my book and I've been working to eliminate as much as possible...
Well said, Scotty !! 🇨🇦
Looking forward to your motorcycle troubleshooting videos.
I for one, think you have a great life Scotty. You have more true friendships, I believe, that any man of wealth could hope to achieve in two lifetimes. A man who has gained material wealth must always wonder the motives of everyone he encounters. You have seen the good things nature has to offer, and I'm sure that you have helped people,(and stray animals 😅) along the way when you had the ability too. You leave a very small imprint on the earth as far as needlessly holding large amounts of space to hold your possessions you do have. I truly think when your time is up, at least in this demention, you will have nothing but a huge smile on your face as life's long story plays before you. A bum? Far from it. 🤗🌅
Scotty shares an unexpected expense related to importing a motorcycle into Mexico and reflects on the transient nature of material possessions. He explores an abandoned house, expressing curiosity about its history and the previous occupant's life based on the items left behind. Scotty reflects on the true value of possessions and encourages letting go of things that no longer serve him. He shares his personal experiences of simplifying his life and contrasts it with the complications of maintaining material possessions. Scotty emphasizes that it's a personal choice and not a judgment on one's worth or accomplishments. Throughout the video, Scotty encourages viewers to reflect on the value of their possessions and the impact they have on their lives.
Now thats a hell of an observation PD. Had to screen shoot that one 😊
Another great video Scotty Very interesting I'm 73 been married 53 years.
You really make me think
I'd like to ask you about how you stay married so long. What's the secret?
I'm doing that now 60 hours a week work hours play deathly burnout need a break
Until I retired and decided to live halfway around the planet for a long undetermined amount of time, I didnt understand how my possesions complicated my life and plans. I now appreciate and understand a priests vow of poverty. All the stuff we own distracts us and limits the things we can do. Once I return to the US I will move across the country, and a whole lot of what I own now will not be going with me. For the last year Ive lived happily with nearly nothing.
Just think all you need is money and you don't need anything else
Isn't a vow of poverty really actually a vow of dependance on others? No one in America is really in poverty because our Government takes money by force from those who produce it and gives it to those who do not. In other Countries yes true poverty exists.
You're looking at this all wrong. It isn't about "stuff" for people, generally. They build up and buy those houses and get stuff to put in them just because of kids. People looking for purpose tend to (mostly) find it in having kids. To have kids you've got to have a job or business, get married, get a house and fill it with stuff. To bring up kids it has to be a decent neighbourhood, you have to get involved in school committees, you have to have a healthy social circle, you have to have networks and influential or important friends, etc. Bringing up those kids becomes their "purpose" in life - they don't have any other aim but that. It takes up at least 20 years, and for those 20 years they maintain everything and have purpose. When the kids move out, they relax a bit, the house slowly falls off, etc. Then when they die the kids inherit it or whatever, but have left and are repeating the cycle themselves. It goes on forever like this. Nobody is trying to build an empire or even anything enduring. The house can be made of wood, not even bricks, for that reason. The stuff doesn't matter to people. Fulfilling what they see as their life purpose, does.
you nailed it.....good job
This story and your narration brought tears to my eyes Scotty ...
Wow BP! I musta done a good job then. You know the Pink Panther was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid. He was just kind of a happy-go-lucky hobo.
@@scootertrampscotty
Was good in sprinting in school, hence my pet-name was BlackPanther 😃
So when YT recently asked us to change or accept their gibberish name, I added the Pink to go with the panther part !! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL...
Much Love n Prayers from India 🙏🏼 from a man who, now at 70, needs it himself...
All aches n pains coming together 😪

Well said and the abandoned property is a fine example.
I have to say industries can price themselves out of existence and the ever increasing demand for cheaper (not necessarily better) imported goods will be their downfall.
Such a big beautiful house shame it was not sold to someone who would love it and take care off.😢
I have been thinking along these lines for a little while now.
Scotty is good people. Hey buddy, you are far from a bum. You make a living off youtube, before that you dis youtube and the bike conventions, and the magazine, and so on. I first found out about Scotty in early 2000. I'm thinking it's been, but it's been some years. 😂
Guess we been around a while Jason.
I first heard of Scotty from Bandit from EasyRider mag and Bikernet
@@scootertrampscotty so wise in so many ways and don't pay any attention to would chuck he is always hating on someone he seems like a very angry and unhappy person sometimes but I sure buy now you don't even think about him much
I liked the painting of the tree ...I would pay $50.00....Scotty you shouldove read that book bout God our creator
Wisdom!
Yes life is a choice 👍
I agree 100 percent.
I have enjoyed your videos for years, always wanted to donate just never did,that changed today. next tank of fuel is on me brother. Always appreciate you dropping life knowledge.
Thanks so much Rider. These bikes been eating me outa house and tent lately! So glad your moneys still good enough to be able to do something like that in these trying times my friend.
Evo top end rebuilds are so easy.. that's why l love the Evo..... like me its simple.. cheers from Down Under mate..
It's a shame that place is wasting away. My guess is, the place is part of an estate and nobody wants somebody else to "win", so that "If I can't have it, NOBODY WILL" mentality reared its ugly head. That happens way too often..... I can't wait to see what you found in that top end that had the mule slurping down all that oil. Thanks, Scottie, for re-uploading this one. This type video is very interesting. Shines a bright light on how fleeting people's treasures can be... I got a chuckle out of the title to the video. I INSTANTLY thought of Fred G. Sanford and his Empire of junk! :)
The mystery is always the fun part for me.
If you do nothing you don't need anything if you do something you need stuff that's the way life is😊
There are a lot of Darnell farms in Alabama
Material possesions = time maintenance...
YT are aholes. They definitely are pushing strong left. I was wondering why I wasn’t getting your notifications. I just figured you took a break.
Thanks Scotty for sharing your experience and adventures 👍
Enerything i post here is also on those other 2 channels. And Odysee.com still has all my old videos up.
"There are no solutions, only trade-offs."
Tsunamis in cold weather areas are the worst!
Owner must of grown old and nobody in the family was interested. Family probably had money to burn. Thanks Scotty good luck out there
I wonder if this 2002 Electra glide standard with carb is going to have orings,gaskets,and other key replacement parts that I may need in the coming several years.I’m not interested in any other Harley,only my twin cam 88 stock machine.It’ll be a dang shame the day I can no longer source parts for it.I guess that’s when I’ll let this go,quick,with no regret,to rust out and turn back to earth.Till then,looks and runs pretty good.
When you die other people will have your stuff. Most of my motorcycles and too trains were someone's else's. Someone else will love the stuff that you loved . And so it goes.
Amazing that people just abandon their property.
Owner died, probably no will. Children where not close.
Is that what happened?..
@@skipads8784 No. Banden took all their money and they all starved.
@@skipads8784
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it 😂
@@dwork9451 ...I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.
Do you still wear clothes with print on them like a child?
Yeah, Solomon already said it
I think that property , was once, and not long ago , a place that someone loved , it's all most like the whole family died ??? , & yes I live in a three bedrom home on my own , I'm always wanting to sell all my shit , and go and spend whatever time I have left ? , in Asia , your a cool cat Mr Scotty, and I like your attitude, and like u I always praise my industrialist friends that live on the other spectrum , they know ,like us it's all an illusion , but that's there hobby / passion/ business , & we don't compare apples and oranges , because that's not what friend's do . 😉👍✌
Fuckem
Apple cores, Orange peelings and seeds and just leave em wondering WTF
Scotty the Archaeologist
Couldn't the argument be made that you Sir (and all of us) have benefited from the complicated lives of others? For example without their complicated lives there wouldn't exist motorcycle production or the roads on which to ride them, or the production and transport of fuel that we benefit from no? Not to mention the healthcare necessary to treat your injuries in life or your inevitable care if and when you are aged. In reality all who work contribute to the benefits of advanced society, but those with complicated lives contribute more I think. Food production on that farm led to you and I (and thousands of others) to not needing to be tied down to one place in order to spend 90 percent of our time producing food for ourselves. I for one also prefer infrastructure and the many other things in an advanced society like healthy clean water over a life of subsistence in the jungle. Many in those primitive societies watch their children die at young ages from waterborne illnesses. The discovery and production of Chlorine through complicated lives has virtually eliminated waterborne illness in our society. It does come at a cost of lost freedom, but it also is a source of pride to have contributed so much to our society, and indirectly to our own happiness. I guess I just believe in credit where credit is due.
Lighten up Fransis
@@larryroach8970 Yep we should just join the Club and get as much free stuff as we can. There fixed it for you.

Thats difficult to understand Scotty how they want to regulate how vehicles get out of Mexico but Heavy equipment from construction sites in Texas was stolen and trucked across the border and it can never be brought back. Excavators, Dozers, Backhoes and drills and other hand tools or pickups and construction building materials. Cant bring that back because an insurance claim was filed and it cannot be imported to the US because its under litigation. CT
A blue / silver 94 bb on the net. For sale I like
You r a great man scotty but the fat business at the top of the corporate world will never get what your saying to us average Joe's keep on keeping my brother
IM A NEW SUB, MOTO GAINT TURN ME ONTO YOU...I realize a sign of getting older is complaining about how expensive everything is. If the walls could talk in that old house, there's no telling the stories they would tell. It's so sad in some ways. But I guess the land is worth more without that old house. Who knows? Thinking about the house makes me realize how wasteful some people are.
Moto Giant is an example of someone who is benefiting (greatly) from the "complicated" lives of others.

A lot of the worldly possessions have a lot to do with a person curriculum another words if you want to play guitar you need a guitar I play guitar😮 you need a house stay warm dry. I have a house , but I'm not where I want to be😢 and I love being free and traveling and camping out in Wild places. but now I worry about Federal Park Rangers they're like Highway Patrol now harassing Us in the woods any chance they get for any reason😢 but I own Indian teepees , tents . l use to live off the land😅 I have pens and paper and bibles ,I take notes, I read so I have books!. I have tools motorcycles trucks and four-wheelers,boats. I have a truck because I pull trailers😮 use to live on the land and Homestead in wild different places the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in Arkansas and Wisconsin, but I've run out of Frontier😮 I have tools because I have to work on the lawn mower😢 I have a lawn mower because I have to cut the grass😮 I know exactly what you're talking about Scotty,, but it's all Catch 22.. I also tan hides😮 I hunt I fish. I can. I put food in the freezer. I'm a self-made man used to build log cabins raise the wife and four kids stayed in the woods but I would like to be free😅 now you leave the place they come and Rob you! and the cops are just as crooked😅. I would love just to live out of a wagon train or a boat but then again you need all your tools your Camp gear your gas oil your gun your bow your fishing equipment your shovels for digging worms😅
Pretty sad sight.
Have you rode the 95 bike much?
Yup
Anybody know of a way around not being allowed to ride a bike back into Mexico after failing to check out when I was bringing my bike back into the US? I couldn't find the office to check out and get my $200 back. This was about 8 years ago.
That sucks. U dont need a vehicle importation for Baja though.
@@scootertrampscotty Thanks Scotty but I was hoping to go down into the mainland. :(
Scotty do u still have face book can't find ya anymore ....
Dude I do the same thing always be trying to read and figure out how someone's life is called it's obviously called profiling I would have been a good profiler as you would have to bro avastus before man I want to ride with you and I think I got a scammer who replied
Have you heard from Brenton Netz lately?
No. We had a falling out.
@@scootertrampscotty sorry to here that. He was out of contact for a week and I was concerned. He texted me this morning.
Why blue I though u buy red !
Both good bikes. Both do exactly the same thing.
What State is the house in? And town too.
I forget the town. Think it was Alabama though.
If if you had a lot of money you wouldn't need anything because then everybody else would do it for you but then you would be a loser with no skills no talents nothing that's what's wrong with the world today people work and then they give the money to somebody else to do for them what they won't do for themselves😊 that's the philosophy of this mountain man

Scotty love your videos for the most part, excepting the decrepit houses and building. Get back to making entertaining and insightful videos …. On a regular basis.
No resect for other people's property. Just trespass whenever he needs a place to stay. He needs a job for a few months a year, save up and then go for his rides the rest of the year. If he wants to camp pay a campground or stay on public land out of sight so cops dont fuck with you.
This place still looks saveable
Awesome
So true
